The TCU recipient, Jack Bech, was selected MVP from the senior Bowl on Saturday, catching the winning hit pass a month after the death of his brother during the deadly attack of the van in New Orleans.
In the fourth row at the end of the last quarter, Bech caught a pass of a touch of 2 yards from the quarter-back of Memphis Seth Henigan to give the American team a victory of 22-19 against the national team in Mobile, in Alabama.
Bech’s older brother Tiger was a former kick-out of the All-Ivy league for Princeton and was one of the people killed during the deadly attack in the French district of New Orleans during the day of the New Year.
Bech carried his brother’s n ° 7 in Saturday’s match, and the TD came with 7 seconds to play.
“Dude, it’s simple: my brother has wings on me,” Bech told Nfl Network. “He gave them to me, and he let it all happen. My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Tiger. Nothing other than them. This is the reason why I did what I did today.
Bech succeeded 62 catches for 1,034 yards and nine hit last season for TCU.
The week before the Saturday’s stars match and the senior Bowl himself was an opportunity for him to present his talents before the NFL draft in April.
“He was surreal to be able to come and take place in this match,” he said. “This is a goal that you set yourself. But if I had the possibility that if I came here, I had the worst week of all time, I ruined my draft stock and that means that I could Give my brother a hug at the moment, you know that I would take that.
“On the other hand, I don’t think I could have had the week I had if all that didn’t happen.”
Bech had six receptions for 68 yards in the match. He joined Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert and Daniel Jones as MVPS of the Senior Bowl.
